BookMan Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 A year ago I ate at a popular chain steak restaurant…The meal was below average and I vowed I wouldn’t return Last night, I returned. Lured by a steak hungry friend and a 139baht special for Chicken steak, Premium pork Sausage, Salad and garlic bread, with a bowl of creamy bacon and mushroom and pasta. What looked good on paper did not translate to the taste buds. The pasta was inedible, salad greens (lettuce) not fresh, chicken steak was fatty and the bread like chewy flavoured cardboard On the upside, the Premium pork sausage was delicious I have vowed never to return… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Well whos a silly boy, if you vowed not to return you should have stuck to it. I know i know. Most likely I will be making the same complaint in another year What did your friend get and how was it? She got the exact same as me. She picked out the mushroom and bacon from the pasta and ate that. Didn't eat the skin from the chicken steak, but ate half the chicken itself, tried a small piece of the brad and didn't like it; she liked the lettuce with mayonnaise and got upset with me when I grabbed half her sausage. Today she messaged her tummy hurts Be happy you didn't get the sh..., session on the bowl. Salad not fresh Yep, beware the salad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I believe it would be Santa Fe or Jeffer ...... I think Santa Fe, to which I always had a reasonable meal for the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Never eaten at Jeffer but Santa Fe is generally okay. Any restaurant that makes people sick regularly goes out of business quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoon Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Was offered barbecued rat for breakfast on my first Isaan trip...mmmm looked good. How did it taste? It tastes like I remember rabbit tasting, when I was a child. I don't go for the "all in" way it has been presented to me in Thailand.

TPI Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 13 coins used to have a "steak" that was 4 slices of "beef" held together with tooth picks! Smothered in gravy it was almost eadable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petedk Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 What do you expect for 139 Baht ? Something edible... i don't think that is too much to ask for u kind of got what u paid for :-) To be fair to the OP, this price is reduced from 210 (or something like that). Yes , you get what you pay for. I tried it the other day. Made a change from Pad Grapao. No, it's not the best spaghetti, not the best steak or salad but it was fast, satisfied my hunger. Will I go back? Maybe if I am in a hurry, but I'd try one of the beef steaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night I went to a different Steak place.. it was 149 baht. In comparison with the other this was sensational value! I met the same friend at 7.30pm and there were ten groups waiting outside to be seated. Food was very above average for the price and type of place Pork Steak was juicy and flavorsome. Pork Sausage excellent Fried bread better than any of the Sizzler or the other place Baked potato only 10 baht extra Coleslaw was okay...though not my thing My friend had the fish and some type of minced steak patty. It was Eat AM Are at Victory Monument, in Century mall. (they might have 3 separate locations at Victory Monument) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
